The Conference will be held on friday, 30th May at the University of Warwick

Keynote Speakers: Daniel Whistler (Liverpool) and Iain Hamilton Grant (UWE)

In recent years, there has been a rapidly growing interest in the thought of F.W.J. Schelling, in the United Kingdom as well as abroad. In order to contribute to this ‘Schelling renaissance’, the University of Warwick will hold a conference on two of Schelling’s most significant works, the fundamental texts of the so-called ‘middle period’: Philosophical Investigations into the Essence of Human Freedom and Ages of the World. By focusing on this central period of Schelling’s thought, the conference aims to expose the significance of Schelling’s philosophy to the wider philosophical community while providing a platform for faculty and students already working on Schelling to collaborate on two of his essential projects.

Graduates from the University of Warwick and Monash University have recently been awarded £20,000 for a research project entitled:“Prospects for an Ethics of Self-Cultivation”. The project will commence with a series of video-linked seminars and will culminate in a two-day workshop and one-day conference at each institution. Both events will invite leading scholars in Hellenistic and Modern European philosophy to investigate the revival of an ethics of self-cultivation, with especial focus on the writings of Nietzsche and Foucault.

Please check the research project’s forthcoming website over the next few weeks with schedules of events, workshop reading materials, and calls for participation. Events will be open to all philosophy students. Please contact m.dennis@warwick.ac.uk for further details.
